The following, written by Chief Justic Sroav, in 1812,
is worthy of the especial consideration of legal gentle
men at the present time. Every young lawyer should
paste it in his scrap book, and, every time he has a
cause to try, read it aloud before going into court :
Whene’er you speak, remember every cause
Stands not on eloquence, but stands on laws—
Pregnant in matter, in expression brief,

Let every sentence stand in bold relief ;

0n trifling points, nor time nor talents waste,

A sad offence to learning and to taste ;

Nor deal with pompous phrase ; nor e’er suppose
Poetic flights belong to reasoning prose.

Loose declamntion may deceive the crowd,

And seem more striking as it goes more loud ;
But sober sense rejects it with disdain,

As ngught but empty noise, and weak as vain.
The froth of words, the schoolboy’s vain parade
0f books and cases,—ail his stock in trade,—
The pert conceits, the cunning tricks and play
Of law attornies, strung in long array,

Th’ unseemly jest, the petulent reply,

That shatters on, and cures not how nor why,
Studious avoid unworthy themes to scan,

They Sink the speaker and disgrace the man,
Like the false lights by flying shadows cast,
Scarce seen when present, and forgot when past.
Begin with dignity ; expound vith grace

Each ground of reasoning in its time and place ;
Let order reign throughout—each topic touch,
Urge not its power too little, nor too much ;
Give each strong thought its most attractive view
In diction clear, and severely true ;

And, as the arguments in splendor grow,

Let each reflect its light on all below.

When to the close arrived, make no delays,

By petty flourishes or verbal plays,

But sum the whole in one deep, solemn strain.
Like a strong current hastening to the main.

From the Home Magazine.
The Man Who tried to Borrow himself
Out of Debt.

 

There are a great many difficult and
sometimes impOssible things, but no mat-
ter how ifiicult or impossible a thing
may be, you will find people in the world
ready to undertake its accomplishment,
Whether it be the discovery of perpetual
motion or the equally romantic attempt
to get out of debt by borrowing.

Of all the work in the world, to live by
borrowing is perhaps the hardest, and pf
all the work in the world, is about the
meanest. Pride, independence and self:
respect, one aftcr the other, are sacrificed
until the man sinks into contempt.

Peter Oglethorpe was not a borrower
by profession. He had started ln"'l‘ife
with a small patrimony, and worked along
independently until his-fiftieth year, when
losses in trade deprived him of the means
of paying certain obhgatiousmnd- he found
himself involved in serious trouble.

‘ Mr. Oglethorpe} said a man who
came into his office one morning, about
this time, ‘I want you to settle that ac-
count of mine.’

‘ I t is impossible to do so now, M r. Spi-
cer. Wholly impossible. You have
heard of my trouble.’

Mr. Oglethorpe exhibited both distress
and agitation,

‘ No I have trouble enough of my own
without looking after that of other pooplc,’
\vus'rnther gruffly anSWered.

He had heard of the trouble, however,
and had called among the first, to secure
his debt, if possible.

' I have met with heavy losses,’ said
Mr. Oglethorpe. ‘ Losses that cover
more than I am worth. At a time when'
I expected to be easy and comfortable, I
find myself suddenly thrown to the wall.’

‘ What do you propose doing?’ asked
Mr. Spicer abruptly.

‘ Doing justly,’ was answered with some

COAL ! COLI- l
H. 8: J. C. HANDLE, have been re-

The Leblgh, Mammoth Vein, Locust Moun-
tain, Council Ridge and Treverton Cools are
oflhefirst class, and are acknowledged by
dealers to have no superior. For furnaces
and all stoves with strong droughts, the Le-
high coals cannot be surpassed, beinw hard
enduring and very pure. For ordinary do:
mestic purposes. the Mammoth Vein Locust
Mountain and Council Ridge Couls, s’tand un.
rivalled; burning more freely than the Le-
high, making no clinker, and leaving less
ashes and slate than most any kind of Coal
known in the market.

As to the Treverton, we can say to any
persons trying it, that if it, does not an-
swer the recommendation and prove entirely
satisfactory, we will take it back again if de-
sired, at our own _expense, and refund the
money.

‘ No one doubts that,’ said the creditor,
softening considerably. But what are
the steps you propose taking ?’

‘ My ”trouble is so recent,’ repled Mr.
Oglethorpe, ‘ that I remain undecided as
to the course of action. But of one thing
you may be contain—all will be treated
alikc.’

‘ Then you mean to stop payment 1”

‘ If I have lost the means of payment,
how am I to pay my obligations ?’

You are evidently putting on the worst
face upon your affairs, Mr. Oglethorpe.’

The visitor’s manner underwent a fur-
ther change.

‘ Let me suggest a different course of
action.’

‘Say on.’ .

Mr. Oglethorpe cast his eyes down to
the floor and bent his head in silent at-
tention. -

‘ Do not think of giving up in this way.’

The tone of Mr. Spicer was insinua-
ting.
‘ But how am I to go forward?’ was
the debtor’s prompt interrogation. For
instance, I owe you $200 and you want
the money ?’ ‘ '

‘I do.’

Very well! And what next.’
‘Borrow.’

‘ Borrow ?’

‘Yes. You have many friends who

will take great pleasure in giving you
temporary old. This disaster may not
prove so serious as you imagine, and you
may be able to struggle through without
a shadow being cast on your good name.
If you suffer present Obligations to be dis-
honored, remember that your reputation
must receive a stain. ' ‘his cannot be
avoided. There are men who have no
word but dishonest with which to desig-
nate those who fail to pay them what is
due, no matter what causes produce the
failure. Think of this Mr. Oglethorpe
and weigh well the consequences before
you have taken the doubtful step you
propose to yourself. You have a family
and for their sakes do not permit this dis-
grace to come upon you and them.’

Mr. Oglethorpe was partially stunned
by this.‘ He had not thought of disgrace
—ouiy of misfortune. He sat for some
time like one stupefied.

‘ Don’t give up, sir ; don’t give up.’

Mr. Spicer laid his hand on the arm of
Mr. Oglethorpe, and spoke cheerily.

‘ Never let it be said that you permit-
ted an obligation to remain uncancelled.
Put on a brave, cheerful face, and yen
will go through. I can wait until t0-
morrow for my money. That g will give
you time to turn round. And whenever
you want aid or counsel, remember that
Jacob Spicer is your friend.’ . ..

The creditor’s counsels prevailed. Mr;
Oglethorpe, instead of standing up brave-
ly and meeting his troubles, began the

hopeless task of borrowing himself out of
debt. He wusinvolved beyond his means
of payment, about $5,000. His business
yielded him a little over $2,000 a year in
net profits ; and his family expenses nev-
cr'exceeded $1,500. He was simply in
condition to pay up in full at the end of
five years. To do this however a fair or-
rangement with all his creditors was nec-
essary, and all would have to make con-
cessions in his favor. Strict attention to
business was also requisite. Such on or
rangcment could have been made and all
would have come out right in the end.
But the unwise counsel prevailed.

0n the day following Mr. Spicer’s vis-
it, that gentlemuu received his two hun-
dred dollars, which Oglethorpe borrowed
from a friend under the promise of pay-
ment on the following day. Another
friend furnished the money to take up a
small note that fell due in the meantime.
By the end'of a week or‘two Mr. Ogle-
thorpe was fairly inducted into the mys-
teries and miseries of borrowing. His
line of accommodation in this direction
had already reached the sum of two thou-
sanddmlurs, a part of. which had been
received from a professional lender, who
received the moderate interest of half, a
cent per day. To keep this large accom-
modation ahead of him was no easy task,
and our borrower found but little time on
his hands for the ordinary duties of busi-
ness. Stendily this accumulation went
on until it reached the full sum of his los-
ses and steadily it increased by the addi-
tion of excessive interest, while the poor
man’s income decreased in consequence
of his neglect of business.

Jacob Spicer never loaned Mr. Ogle-
thorpe a single dollar. His advice had
been given selfishly and heartlessly. To
get the whole of his small claim, he had
been willing to lead an honest but clear-
sighted man into a wrong way that led
too certain worldly ruin. Many times,
in cases of extremity,had Mr. Oglethorpe
called upon Mr. Spicer, but always the
some cold refusal met his applications.—
The shrewd, unscrupulous man knew that
the end must come, that sooner or later
Oglethorpe must be driven under, and he
was not going to have even a trifling risk
in so leaky a ship;

Oué day—it was over a year from the
time Mr. Oglethorpe began his up hill-
work—the embarassed man found him-
self in more than usual trouble. There
were notes to pay, and sums of borrowed
money to return, making an aggregate
that exceeded two thousand- dolllurs.—
With feelings scarcely more pleasant than
of a criminal on his way to trial, Mr.
Oglethorpe entered his place of business,
and without glancing over the morning.
paper, sat down at his desk and began to
figure up the day’s payments. A sigh
that almost betrayed itself in a groan
gave painful evidence that the result had
been reached.

“ Twenty-three hundred l” he said to
himself, and his heart sank within him.

“Where so large an amount is to come
is beyond my skill to guess. Ah, me i
This matter is growing worse and worse.
The night gets darker. My feet are
more entangled to day than they were
six months ago. Instead of finding a
way out of this labyrinth of ember-ass-
ment, I am getting more involved, and I
fear even the clue is lost. All my time
is spent in money raising to the neglect
of business, and its consequent decline.—
Heaveu help me i I fear the case is past
bope.’ -

The unhappy man sat in this gloomy
state for some time, then aroused himself
and started on his daily rounds of solicita-
tion. He had twenty three hundred dol-
lars to raise and he must be active if he
expected to get through.

It is not our purpose to follow him
step by step. Almost any reader can iin-
agine the trials, disappointments and hu-
miliations attendant on the work he had
taken on hand. At 2 o’clock, Mr. Ogle~
thorpe found himself still short about five
hundred dollars. Where was the
amount to come from? He had ex—
hausted every resource within reach, and

in order to collect his thoughts, had re-

turned to his place of business. Weary,
wretched, and,sick in body and mind,
was that poor, harassed and broken-down
borrower.

Thought turned everywhere, but could
discover no new resource. ‘

“ Perhaps something might be obtained
from Spicer,” was at last suggested.

But the suggestion was thrown aside ,
as soon as oifered. It came up again,
was resolved for} moment or two, and
dismissed.

“ It will never do to give it up 1’

A feeling of desperation caused Mr.
Oglethorpe to start to his feet as he said
this.

“ Something must be done, I will see
Spiccr. He can help me and he must.”

And without waiting for reconsidera-
tion, he started forth again. A rapid
walk brought him in a few minutes to
the Store of Mr. Spicer.

“Went home an hour ago,” was the
answer which met his inquiry.

“ Do you expect him to return before
3 o’clock !”

“ No. He is unwell, and said, on
leaving, that he woald not be in the store
again today.

Miserable Mr. Oglethorpe turned slow-
ly nWay.

“ It’s my last chance,” said he to him-
self, as he gained the street. This man
must be seen or all is lost.” '

And so he went to the house of Mr.
Spicer.

“ Who wants to see me f”

He heard this. interrogation made in
no amiable tone, as the servant who on-
swered the bell went back to announce
the visitor. ,To the servaoe’Preply come
this further inquiry :

“ Did you say I was in l”

“ Yes, sir.”

“ Confonnd him i What does he come
here for. Show him in l”

It was too late .to retreat. Feeling
like a culprit, poor Oglethorpe, with a
forlorn aspect, entered the room where
Spicer awaited him.

“ Well sir 1 What’s wanted i” rough-
ly interrogated the bear in his den.

"I—I—I—I am short today, a few
hundred dollars,” stammered out Ogle-
thorpe. ° .

1‘ Well, what is that to me I” returned
Spicer, with a roughness akin to his na-
tore.

 

“ Nothing-nonunion _ -

hard on to three O’clock—and—and—
and—”

Oglethorpe choked and could say no
more.

“ Well,” growled Spicer, “let three
o’clock come, and the quicker it comes
'thc better for you. and all other misera—
ble fools like you.”

u sir P}

This outrage penetrated beyond the
borrower and reached the man. Ogle-
thorpe’s cringing manner gave way to an
erect attitude, and his face of depressed
solicitation changed its look to one of in-
dignant feeling.

“ Sir, this is mean as well as cruel ?” he
said, with a sterness of tone that added
anger t0 the other’s ill nature, and made
him still more reckless of speech.

“ The truth may always be spoken, and
if it hurts, it is because it tells home,” re-
torted Spicer,'with increased asperity of
manner. “ You are a miserable fool, and
have been playing the fool over a year,
as are all other men who start upon
that worst of fool’s errands, borrowing
themselves out of debt ; a man may work
himself out of debt, but he might as well
try to empty the ocean with an oyster
shell, as to borrow [Kiself out of debt.—
Thero, sir, you have y sentiments, and
I hope it will do you good.”

- Without a word of reply, Mr. Ogle-
thorpe turned away and left the house.
The truth which came from the lips of
Spicer was a sharp sword that cut away
down into the heart of conviction.

‘ Yes, I am a fool l” he muttered be-
tween his teeth as he strode off. “ I was
a fool to take a knave’s advice in the be-
ginning, and agreater fool not to have
discovered my folly. Three o’clock may
come now. The vain struggle is over.—
The long dreaded day is over, I am a ru-
ined man.”

Just two thousand dollars worse of
was Mr. Oglethorpe than when he began
the task of trying to borrow himself out
of debt. Neglect of business, and exces-
sive interest were the causes that pro-
duced this result. But his creditors were
not hard on him. They knew the man
to be honest at heart and pitied his mis-
fortunes. Full time to work himself out
of trouble was granted, and he did work
himself out though it cost him years of
active devotion to business.

as I was sittin’ by Betty. and had work‘

“ Hetty, if a feller should ask you to
marry him, what would you say I”

Then she laughed, and sez she :

“ That would depend on who asked
me.”

Then sez I :

Sez she : “ I’d tell Ned Willis, but
not you.”

'l but kinder staggered me. But I was
too ’cute to lose the opportunity, and so
I sez ogen :

« “ Suppose it was me ?”

And you ought to have seen her pout
up her lip, and sez she :

“ I don’t take no supposes.”

Well now you see, there was nothiu for
me to do but touch the gun off. So hang
it went. Sez I :

“ Lor, Hetty, its me.

jury free from prejudice. At last, after
a large number had been rejected, a man
from the back part of the country was
called, who, in response to the questions
proponnded, said that he did not take or
read a paper, and had never heard of the
murder. This was too strong a case,
and Mr. Terry, one of tho cauusel for the
prosecution, said: “ We object to your
sitting on the jury in this case ; a man
that don’t take a paper, and never heard
of this brutal murder, don’t know enough
to be u jurymun i We don’t want you.”

Monday's work-t. .'

The vote on Monday was the largest
ever cast in Connecticut at a State'elhc-
tion. The total vote is about 78,490,
against 62,908 in 1857, and 170,127‘in
1858. III the Fremont campaign the lar-
gest vote ever given in this State was
cast, amounting to 80,328’votes only 1,-
835 votes more than the vote in the'l'ato
election. Of these Fremont had 42,715,
Buchanan 34,995, and Fillmore 2,615.—
In the late campaign Buckingham had
about "40.200, and Prattabout‘38;200,
showing that while a considerable share
of the Fremont vote was not‘broughtout
the Fillmoreites have mainly: joined the
Democrats. It should be: remember-
ed also, that the Democracy naturalized
not less than 3500 foreign voters, in the
course of their active preparations for this
battle, so that their total vote is increas-
ed rather than diminished,notwithstand- ‘
ing the large number of converts made
from their ranks during the past year.

We may therefore regard the late elec-
tion as a test of the utmost strength of
the Democratic party. in Connecticut,
while it is equally true that the Republi-
can party can poll in a Presidential con-
test, not less than five thousand votes
more than were cast for Buckingham.
The Democrats did'their-utmOSt. ' They
strained every nerve, and in its deperate
exertions to accomplish something in this
election, the Democratic party may be
said to have “ broken its "ack ;” it can
never rally as large an army or putforth
such exertions again. Its strength is
broken and- that forever. Connecticut
may safely be called a. Republican State.
We have never ECU! the‘democrats so dis-
couraged alter a defeat as they are now.
They know that they have done their ut-
most, and they expected 0. very difi'erent
result. The conviction that any. further
fight is hopeless, and the knowledge that
their own ranks are so distracted and dis-
organized thnt they can never be rallied
around the Old standard, coupled with
the shock of sudden and bitter disappoint-
ment, have thrown our Opponts into a
state Of mind by no means enviable.—
l’lleir woeful Jcl'emiads are painful to
near. ’i‘hey confess that the Democratic
party is hopelessly ruined -; that its rank
and file have lost all confidence. in..their
leaders, and its leaders in each other;
and they prOphesy, in dolefnl accentsna
total disruption of -the Union at no dis-
tout day, and a military despotism, to
follow fast upon the inevitable triumph of
the Republicans in 1860. ‘

We pity them. They are, many of
them, just deluded enough to suppose
that the fate of the Union depends upon
the success of their party. Let than
wait until the election of a. Republican
President- in 1860 shall inaugurate a new
and better era for our country, audtheir
fears will then be quickly alloyed.
